Chapter 157
But there was no way to know if she'd show up or not. Senior Yujin was one capricious woman.
Han Yaseong trudged along the stream path before heading toward home. Once there, he flopped onto the bed and rolled around watching movies.
He called Senior Choi Yujin, but as expected, she was too busy to pick up. No, it felt like she was deliberately ignoring it. She really didn't want to do it.
They said a wife refusing sex with her husband was grounds for divorce... Now he could see why. If he got married and his wife hated sex this much, life would feel unbearable. Good thing he had Second-in-command Eun-a senior; otherwise, he'd have been in trouble.
Now he understood the real reason Senior Choi Yujin had no choice but to send over Eun-a senior. She didn't want to have sex. Or rather, she only wanted it in moderation.
Senior Choi Yujin wasn't a nympho. Of course, neither was Eun-a senior, not really. It was just that he was the nympho, going three times a day every day. They were half-nymphos— they liked sex but hated doing it daily.
Han Yaseong had no one to blame but his own overwhelming libido. Premium meat tastes best when eaten occasionally, but he wanted it every day, so naturally, it got boring for them.
But not for Han Yaseong. He could eat meat every day and never tire of it. No matter how much he had, it never got old. Even today, if he felt like it, he could've gone five rounds.
It reminded him of those lecherous demons from wuxia novels with their overflowing yang energy. Those demons wanted to fuck women every single day, grabbing pretty ones by force and doing it. They even absorbed essence from women through dual cultivation to replenish their vital energy.
Thinking he was just like them, Han Yaseong sighed. Ever since traveling to that other world, his sex drive had gotten way out of control. How could he want a woman every day...? He needed some self-control.
With that, Han Yaseong sent the text to Senior Choi Yujin and left the house for the mart. To enter the portal at night, he needed to stock up on food again.
He picked out all sorts of stuff and paid 400,000 won with his card. His food expenses had been insane lately. Buying a month's worth almost every day or every two or three days meant he was probably dropping five to ten million won a month.
If Senior Choi Yujin hadn't given him the card, he might not have been able to enter the portal properly. Han Yaseong arranged delivery for the groceries and headed home.
There was still plenty of time until 7 PM, so nothing was urgent. It was past 1 PM, so he ordered jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk for delivery and started watching a movie again.
Thinking about heading into the portal later eased his boredom a bit, and the thriller that had bored him yesterday started drawing him in.
He watched for a while until the delivery arrived. He ate the jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk, and around 3 PM, the groceries from the mart showed up. It took about ten minutes to haul everything up to the attic.
After watching a couple variety shows, it was nearing 7 PM. Han Yaseong got ready for the portal while he waited.
Just then, his phone rang—Senior Choi Yujin.
"What're you up to?"
"Just hanging out."
"Bored?"
"Nah. Why?"
"Nothing, I was gonna come over if you were..."
But her tone didn't sound eager at all. Senior Choi Yujin wasn't in heat yet.
"If you really wanna come, do it tomorrow. I've got a schedule today."
"What schedule? Where you going?"
"I've got plenty of people asking me to come over."
"Sure you do."
"But why'd you call? Something up?"
"Oh, that gem. I showed it to my dad."
"Yeah? What'd he say?"
"He said he doesn't know much about it either, but he'll send it to a famous diamond company in Europe. They'll analyze the composition and give a price appraisal. Turns out Dad knows the chairman there. He stayed at our hotel last time he was in Korea."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. And he wants to meet you too."
"Me?"
"Yeah. You said you wanted to meet my dad, right? When are you free?"
"Wait, but..."
This fast? It was too sudden. He'd figured they'd meet someday, but not now.
Han Yaseong had been thinking sometime around a month from now.
"He wants to meet sometime this week, so clear your Sunday. Got it?"
"Sunday's just two days away."
"Exactly. Tomorrow Saturday would've been perfect, but that's too rushed, right?"
"......Yeah, okay."
Sunday, two days later, was better than tomorrow. Still, the thought of meeting Senior Choi Yujin's dad made his heart race with nerves.
Her family's hotel group was worth over a trillion won in market cap... Of course he'd be tense meeting the chairman. It was his first time dealing with someone like that.
He'd never even met a police chief or district mayor in his life. And Yujin's dad seemed even bigger than those guys.
So yeah, he was naturally on edge. Maybe she sensed it, because she laughed.
"What, scared now that it's real?"
"Kinda. What if he asks about us?"
"I told him you're a junior from the club we hang out with. That you follow me around like a puppy and have a crush. So he's not suspicious or anything. But if he thinks you're my boyfriend, he'll flip. He gets scary mad if you don't meet his standards. Dad's a total girl-dad, but he's upper crust. He won't be lenient with some guy who doesn't measure up. Never happened before, but anyway—don't act like we're dating. Just play it like you have a crush on me. Nothing more. If Dad gets suspicious or finds out about us, it'll be a headache for both of us. You see it in dramas all the time—parents opposing their kid's relationship and throwing their weight around. Dad knows all the right people for that kinda cleanup. Fist before law, you know? So don't let it slip when you meet. We tell him later, once you've built a solid base. Got it?"
"Yeah."
Her dad sounded like a mob boss. Opposing his daughter's boyfriend, kidnapping him with his thugs, burying him in the hills...
But if it came to that, it'd actually play to his strengths. He wouldn't lose a fight to a few gangsters.
But money, status, family background? He had nothing to show there. He'd have to admit his parents abandoned him, and then it'd be all "no roots," "street trash," like in the dramas.
Han Yaseong shook his head at the mess. It was already 7 PM.
"Alright, Sunday it is. Gotta go."
"Huh? What? You really have somewhere to be?"
"Told you. I'll call tomorrow."
"Fine. But don't mess with street girls. If you catch something, I'm never doing it with you again."
"Got it."
True to her clean-pussy standards, Senior Choi Yujin was cracking down on hookers. But Han Yaseong had no interest in street girls anyway. They just seemed dirty.
He didn't want to sleep with women any random guy could buy. But high-class courtesans? For some reason, he wanted those. Maybe because they weren't cheap— they were premium. Like some fantasy about elite gisaeng.
Han Yaseong hung up and hurried to the attic. The portal light was already shimmering like waves.
He shoved all the groceries in and dove through.
Thud, thump!
This time, he landed without falling, keeping his balance.
This world felt summery too—hot, with a bright blue sky and blazing sun. Wish it was winter, he thought as he bellowed toward the root-side shelter.
"Yadong!"
After a few shouts, Yadong slunk out lazily. The guy hadn't trained at all—total slacker vibe. Even coming down the hill, he dawdled.
His body was soft from laziness, face full of reluctance.
"You're in a slump too, huh."
Training nonstop must've gotten boring. Han Yaseong had nearly died of boredom himself; no wonder Yadong, stuck here, was fed up.
Feeling a kinship, Han Yaseong chuckled.
"Grab those and take 'em. Bought tons of food."
Yadong perked up at the grub, sniffing before chomping a big plastic bag and heading to the shelter. Han Yaseong followed, arms full.
The shelter was dusty as hell. He did a quick cleanup and lit a small fire.
After ten or so trips hauling everything, the wild animals under Brother Yi's command sensed it and started gathering at the entrance one by one.
